“We have no facts.”

I posted facts. Additional, Tesla is building police vehicles, Model PD.

Paterson, NJ—where the criminals use police vehicles as battering rams.

We need a bona fide stress test—with high stress.

Great videos—EVs are literally “playing with fire”.

They are.
At times they’re still burning days later.

Easier still...cut the power to the police electric charging units, pull off multiple HUGE bank heists while half the cars are not able to be fully charged..shooting a 44 magnum into a battery pack might start a fire...?
Would only use ev’s for non “combat” roles at best. Ceremonial crap.
I understand that driving an ev at high speed reduces it’s range significantly. Plus the battery radiators will have to work overtime to keep the batteries cool, and prevent damage, or loss of efficiency.Good luck with that in high stress situations.

” Ceremonial crap.”

You nailed it.

The police chief can drive around in one to impress the mass media.

Meanwhile the real cops will have real vehicles that can handle the nasty stuff.

I understand that driving any car at any speed reduces its potential range significantly.

Or worse they get damaged and burst into flames with govt workers trapped inside burned to a crisp. Not that I want any officers dead but the lawsuits from family on govt would crush the taxpayers unless the govt had very good employee insurance.

But one can fill up with gas in about 15 mins max, assuming gas station nearby. With present ev’s you out of commission for “awhile” even if a few blocks away from a charging station. Gasoline or diesel can be brought to a fuel depleted ICE car.

What does “…running wind…” mean in English?

Is that like an Indian chief or something?

My fathe was a cop in Pasadena ,CA ,way back around 1953 .I believe the patrol cars were Fords, it has been years since I have seen the pictures.

Well, go crack open your family album, or that shoebox full of old snapshots your father laid away, and take a gander.

We'll wait.
